Blood samples were obtained from 15 diabetic patients (type I) and 10 healthy subjects. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity, Heinz bodies and osmotic fragility were determined. Our results suggest that decreased activity of erythrocyte SOD predisposes to denaturation of haemoglobin (Heinz bodies) and haemolysis (increased osmotic fragility).
